More than two decades in the making, the Edward R. Roybal Learning Center finally opened on September 3 with more than 2,600 high school students attending classes on the 25-acre campus in downtown Los Angeles for the first time. The school's original construction was halted in 1999 after the discovery of underground methane gases, and again in 2002 after the discovery of a seismic fault line. Design architect WWCOT, Santa Monica, Calif., took over the project in 2003, breathing new life into the conceptual plan. The scope of WWCOT's work totaled $132 million and encompassed approximately 100,000 sf of new construction, including a 500-seat classroom building, library, auditorium, music and drama classrooms, and food services; renovation of 72,800 sf of classrooms and 300,000 sf of gym and parking space in the existing buildings, which were converted into six 500-seat academies; demolition of two unfinished structures; implementation of an earthquake fault setback; and the construction of an adjacent, 10-acre community park.

Roybal学习中心终于在9月3日开业，超过2,600名高中学生首次在洛杉矶市中心25英亩的校园里上课。在发现地下甲烷气体后，该校的原始建筑于1999年停顿；在发现一条地震断裂线后，该校于2002年再次停建。加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡市的设计建筑师WWCOT于2003年接手了该项目，为概念计划注入了新的活力。 WWCOT的工作范围总计为1.32亿美元，包括约100,000平方英尺的新建筑，包括500个座位的教室，图书馆，礼堂，音乐和戏剧教室以及餐饮服务；翻新现有建筑物中的72,800平方英尺的教室以及300,000平方英尺的健身房和停车位，并将其转变为六个有500个座位的学院；拆除两个未完成的结构；实施地震断层挫折；以及建设一个毗邻的10英亩社区公园。
